Today was the first time, since I started this hobby several months ago, that I thought "Man, this hobby can get expensive and time consuming". It isn't the expense that frustrates me so much as I am upset that I did not think to buy everything I needed at 1 time. First, I bought the bird but forgot the battery and charger. Those came this morning and I had about 4-5 minutes hover time before eating it! Now, I'm in a situation where I bought several sets of main blades but forgot to buy extra tail blades. I should have bought duplicates of everything except for maybe the motor, servos, and gyro because, the waiting time for products to ship from China even with EMS is at least 7-10 days with U.S. Customs involved, and THAT is what is killing me. I have a jones in my blood to be airborn man! I need my fix!

Hey wing, I upgrades from a air hog to a 9958. It was great and my 2 sons love theres. My flew up up and away. Couldn't find it so now I'm going with a Super FP. After that a Mini CP. I like to fly same bird out side as I can also practice in my living foom.

Just ordered my DH 9118 4 channel 2.4 Ghz transmitter and I can barely wait for it to be delivered on Monday! I just had to upgrade from the cheap Air Hogs that you get at Walmart. I was gonna go all out and get a 26" 6 channel 3D heli - but - I wanted to practice with something geared more for beginners, this way, I don't waste a couple hundred dollars. I did however, buy a flight simulator that comes with a controller so that I can practice on the "big boys" before I actually get one.
